My wish to the newly-opened Azerbaijan State Bank is that it
      should be a firm bulwark of the New Economic Policy in the hands
      of the workers and peasants of the fraternal Soviet
      republic. The donation of 40 millions to the famine victims on
      the Volga and in Kurdistan is the best proof of the preparedness
      to march under the banner of the Red International of working
      people.

Lenin,Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars of the R.S.F.S.R.
